The Big C and the Little V

Vulvar cancer may be rare, but persistent vulvar symptoms deserve attention. In this episode of Labia Logic, Drs. Ashley Fuller and Meredith McClure explain the different types of vulvar cancer, the role of HPV and lichen sclerosus, and the warning signs that should be evaluated. They discuss persistent itching, burning, sores, bumps, bleeding, skin changes, vulvar biopsy, treatment, and what recovery can look like. Most importantly, they explain why knowing your normal vulvar appearance can help you recognize changes that deserve a closer look—and why symptoms that don't improve shouldn't be repeatedly treated as "just a yeast infection."
